The beat goes on in more way than one for Cher.

58 years after watching her debut solo album, ‘All I Really Want to Do,’ peak at #16 on the Billboard 200, the 77-year-old Pop icon is still enjoying top 40 success on the tally thanks to her latest release.

Cher’s ‘Christmas’

First-Week Sales (SPS): 21,000

First-Week Sales (Pure): 20,000

First-Week Billboard Position: #32

Peruse of the updated Billboard 200 sees Cher at #32 courtesy of ‘Christmas‘ – her inaugural holiday album and first release of the decade.

Released October 20, the 13-track effort – featuring her unique take on classics like ‘Please Come Home for Christmas’ and ‘What Christmas Means to Me’ – boasts guest appearances from Stevie Wonder, Tyga, Cyndi Lauper, Michael Buble, and more and comes as the week’s overall top-selling female effort (pure sales).

Supported by the thunderous, dance-inspired first single, ‘DJ Play a Christmas Song,‘ ‘Christmas’ marks the diva’s first #1 on the Holiday Albums chart and 15th top 40 hit on the Billboard 200.

More importantly, it makes her only the second female act in history (following Barbra Streisand) to have collected a placement on the latter tally in the 60s, 70s, 80s, 90s, 2000s, 2010s, and 2020s.  Among all performers, only Bob Dylan and The Rolling Stones can boast a similar achievement.
